Inequality in Good and Bad Times: A Cross-Country Approach
Ms. Burcu Hacibedel
,
Pierre Mandon
,
Ms. Priscilla S Muthoora
, and
Nathalie Pouokam
This paper provides evidence of a strong relationship between the short-term dynamics of growth and inequality in developing economies. We find that reductions in inequality during growth upswings are largely reversed during growth slowdowns. Using a new methodology (mediation analysis), we identify unemployment, and youth unemployment especially, as the main channel through which fluctuations in growth affect future dynamics in inequality. These findings suggest that both the quality of jobs created and labor market policies are important to ensure that growth outcomes are conducive to inequality reduction.

The proposed SDN discusses the specific macro-critical aspects of women’s participation in the labor market and the constraints that prevent women from developing their full economic potential. Building on earlier Fund analysis, work undertaken by other organizations and academic research, the SDN presents possible policies to overcome these obstacles in different types of countries.

En el Documento de Análisis del Personal Técnico (SDN) propuesto se analizan aspectos específicos de importancia crítica desde el punto de vista macroeconómico acerca de la participación de la mujer en el mercado laboral y los obstáculos que impiden que la mujer desarrolle plenamente su potencial económico. Sobre la base de análisis previos del FMI, estudios de otras organizaciones e investigaciones académicas, en este SDN se presentan políticas que podrían usarse para vencer estos obstáculos en diferentes tipos de países.

Poverty, Inequality, and Unethical Behavior of the Strong
Mr. Arye L. Hillman
This paper is concerned with economic consequences of unethical governance. A framework is set out, based on principles of Friedrich Nietzsche, that ties poverty and inequality to unethical behavior of the strong toward the weak. The paper contributes to an understanding of why poverty and inequality have remained entrenched in some societies in spite of repeated programs intended to improve living standards. The purpose is to include ethics of governance, and, in particular, unethical behavior of the strong toward the weak, in preconditions for economic development.

How Intensive Is Competition in the Emerging Markets? An Analysis of Corporate Rates of Return from Nine Emerging Markets
Ajit Singh
,
Mr. Rudolph Matthias
, and
Mr. Jack D. Glen
This large empirical study of corporate profitability in emerging markets during the 1980s and 1990s measures the intensity of competition. Data on corporate rates of return, profit margins, and output-capital ratios reveal that the recent liberalization has been associated with reduced corporate profit margins and improved capital utilization efficiency. The paper also analyzes persistency in corporate profitability and finds that competitiveness was no less intense in developing countries than in advanced countries. Although the paper is not directly concerned with the Asian crisis, it provides evidence on important structural hypotheses about the crisis.
